Game Thread Astros @ Twins 5/1/19 7:10 PM CDT

[Aggies7]

Great productive AB for MK

[Nine of twelve]

Got him over, now get him in.

[Mill1634]

Fantastic base running by Buxton

[diehardtwinsfan]

Nice Buxton!

[Aggies7]

Very difficult play but I thought B.B. was going to be toast

[diehardtwinsfan]

common Cruz... make it 5-0

[jimbo92107]

Speaking of stuff like Colin McHugh: Great curve ball, 89mph fast ball, unusually effective. Remind you of anybody on the Twins?

 

Ryne Harper. 

[ashbury]

The boys just look like the don't have confidence against the good teams. The are just mentally not in the game in the same way.

Look like Twins hitters already give up this series, they don't fight any pitches. Sucks.

 

Carnac: Your powers of mind-reading exceed even my own!

[diehardtwinsfan]

Rosario takes a walk. 

[ashbury]

Man, I was sure McHugh was going to K Buxton with that sweeping curve. Lucky it's too cold for McHugh to command that pitch.

[Nine of twelve]

Boy, Mauer really getting extended time in the booth tonight.

It really is amazing how awful it is. Really, all of espn’s broadcast teams are terrible.

I agree, other than their "A" team broadcast. That one is good.

Marwin would be warmer if he were sitting in the dugout all night. Just thinking of what is best for him.

[Otto von Ballpark]

66666666666666666666666666666666666666666

Too many?

 

...or not enough?

 

(Chief: Yes.)

[Otto von Ballpark]

Why is the announcer pronouncing Perez as PAIR-ez instead of PUR-ez

Isn't that correct? His name is technically Martín Pérez. I think that should be pronounced differently than Perez (with no accent marks).

[VATwinsFan]

 

Too many?

...or not enough?

(Chief: Yes.)

9

[Joe A. Preusser]

Too many?

...or not enough?

(Chief: Yes.)

Hard to say. Even if it were imbued with mystical, baseball crushing properties, I am not convinced it would help MG right now.

[Nine of twelve]

There will always be math.

[diehardtwinsfan]

Is Houston's DH the worst hitter on their team?

[wabene]

Ah geez that mayonnaise sandwich I just had's got quite a kick! Oh geez that's spicy!

[VATwinsFan]

Dare I say that it looks like Perez is in a groove right now?

[Mill1634]

The ump has been very liberal with the low strike all night

[diehardtwinsfan]

nice pitch framing there. 

[John Kelsey]

 

Is Houston's DH the worst hitter on their team?

 

Until they call Yordan Alvarez up in the next week or so. 

[VATwinsFan]

This evening Pensacola has 5 batters in the lineup hitting .200 or less.

 

 

[Mike Sixel]

nice pitch framing there.

I'm told that's inconceivable unless Castro is catching....

[Mill1634]

Perez is rolling right now
